G83: Rays 6, Red Sox 5

Boston battered Garza (3-7-4-2-1, 84) in the third after he had retired the first two batters. Eric Patterson homered -- he would also hit a dong in the fourth -- and then there was a walk, double, and three singles. The Red Sox led 5-1.

Dice (5-8-5-4-4, 112) gave the lead away, however, as he was unable to retire any of the first four batters in the sixth. Ramon Ramirez allowed two singles to the start the seventh, and a sacrifice fly scored the go-ahead run.

In addition to his two homers, Patterson doubled in the seventh. David Ortiz walked three times and singled.

Help! I would like a permanent description/subtitle thing. Any old or new ideas that are funny, straight-forward, or just plain neato?

July 5: The New York Giants become the first team to use a public address system (1929), Cleveland's Larry Doby is the first black player in American League history (1947), and the A's and Angels set a record for the most runs scored in the first inning (Oakland 13-3) (1996).

Flipping through the channels, we found a Tina Turner concert from Holland filmed in 2009. Wow, it was incredible. At age 70, she still has it. Great singing, dancing, and her legs still look pretty damn good. Amazingly sexy dancers on tour with her, well choreographed by Toni Basil.

We also went to see Toy Story 3. Very good movie. Bring the tissues, though.

Tito blew that game. Batting Patterson 2nd? PRing Cameron instead of PHing? Oh, and let's not forget the pure stupidity of not using a decent reliever in 7th, 8th. GOD FORBID we use our closer in non-save situation.
